Ivica Bukvic said at ÒRE: [PD] some interesting info regarding RME-Alsa (0.9) and PD (and other 0.35.9 suggestions)Ó. [2002/02/18 19:55]
-blocksize, plughw:1,0 and all that, but I always end-up with the same error:
audio I/O stuck... closing audio
I tried also fragszie that is ^2 based without success.
So my question to you is, what version of Alsa are you using and what are the exact parameters you use to get Pd working, as well as how does your asoundrc file look like?
My linux box is in the theatre right now, I will look tonight. I am not using anything fancy. alsa 0.9b10. I am not using a hammerfall card, but a RME 8 channel card, which is very different hardware. I used to have endless problems getting it to work, but that turned out to be IRQ conflicts. It seems that alsa has become a little more sensitive to those with version 0.9. Looking at the code, I would say that any card you can get to work with aplay should work with pd, but apperently this is not the case. Have you tried the -noadc and -nodac options ? I once got rid of similar stuck audio when I only used the output.
cheers
